Aerospace

High Velocity Impact (HVI) simulation is used to analyze the
dynamic behavior of material under very high speed impacts. This typically
finds applications in aerospace where we need to understand the damage suffered
by spacecraft encountering space debris such as micrometeoroids.

Aircraft

Through HICAS, a European R&D project, PAM-SHOCK
has been used to develop design methodologies and simulate the high
velocity impact response of composite aircraft structures. This is urgently required
by the aircraft industry as impacts from bird strikes or foreign objects
on an aircraft parts can be a serious jeopardy.

Defense

Among the several applications of PAM-SHOCK HVI, one deals
with fluid-structure interactions, which feature any kind of explosion.
This calls for complex simulation, which for instance enabled ESI
Group to retrace a scenario for the Lockerby Boeing 747 attack.

PAM-SHOCK HVI can simulate High-Frequency Vibration Responses,
which occur when any part has undergone a short duration pulse,
such as the explosion used for the separation of modules in spacecraft
or rockets.

Biomechanics

PAM-SHOCK HVI also simulates structure/biomechanics interaction under high
load impacts. Various applications in the field of the soldier's
protection can be addressed.

Ballistic impacts on protective equipment such as helmet, vest, boots
can be simulated to investigate consequent injuries.
